Deliciously rich and creamy. Full-bodied, with layers of apricot, peach and hazelnut flavors that are deep and persistent, ending with a touch of butterscotch. The wine equivalent of liquefied crème brûlée.

2013 Loring Durell Vineyard Chardonnay - 91 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo 250"Vivid yellow-gold. Powerful aromas of white peach, iodine and marzipan are lifted by white flowers. Mineral and ginger elements give freshness and lift to the ripe, round pit fruit and melon flavors, with a smoky nuance emerging with aeration. This weighty yet energetic Chardonnay finishes with solid punch and excellent fruit-driven persistence. - Josh Raynolds"

wa300"Tension and energy serve to balance layers of overt, expressive varietal notes in the 2011 Chardonnay Durell Vineyard. Nectarines, honeysuckle, flowers, spices and crushed rocks wrap around the precise, delineated finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2015."
